Nostalgia Filter

There is a tendency for some adults and some teenagers to see the newer material in a medium (be it music, film, animation, or comic books) as inferior to the older classics that they knew in their youth.

Nostalgia filters are usually developed when people are under the age of 30.

nostalgia tears

Nostalgia tears are the tears you shed during a moment of intense nostalgia.

Mostly this happens when you listen to a song you used to love listening to as a kid. Your brain remembers simpler and happier times of your life and you miss them.

Dude I just listened to (insert song here) and omg that really gave me nostalgia tears to my eyes..why can't things be this simple again?

Nostalgia Breakdown

When you go through so many Nostalgic memories and try to retry so many Nostalgic things, you drop to your knee's and start bawling your eyes out because of all the pressure. Don't worry pal, we've all been there.

"I used to play Godzilla Unleashed all the time as a kid! but when I hook up my ps2 to play it again, I can't help but cry. I begin to have a Nostalgia Breakdown, i guess."

lovely nostalgia

It's a feeling you get when you can't stop thinking about the good times with your ex no matter how fucked up they treated you, you want to hate them but those sweet memories won't let you.

Guy 1 :why do you not hate your ex? She cheated on you bro

Guy 2: I want to hate her but the good times we had won't let me, I'm stuck with this lovely nostalgia.

Nostalgia-freaks

People who never give up on nostalgia and hate on anything new or it’s entire fan base.

Frostboy 12: “I don’t know why Thomas & Friends series 8-11 are so hated, I think it’s as good as the classic series.”

Nostalgia-freak: “Dude, you know they really messed up the characters in that era of the show. Also, The Looney Tunes Show is absolute trash, watch classic Looney Tunes instead!”

Frostboy 12: “Oh no, your one of those Nostalgia-freaks!”

Nostalgia Phase

When you see all the garbage on television, something hits you and you start watching all of the old shows you watched and loved as a child on Youtube. You go on wikipedia to find the names of all the episodes, read some other info and why the show was cancelled. Affects people that are at least 17 years of age, can can last a few days, to weeks.
Or it can go away and relapse later.

I was in nostalgia phase, so I started watching Ren and Stimpy and 30 Minutes of Cartoon Openings from the 1990's videos on youtube.
